Development and production [edit]
On January 6, 2013, NBC bypassed the pilot order and green-lighted Camp with a direct-to-series order and a planned summer 2013 airdate.[1] Thirteen episodes were originally ordered, however the episode order was decreased from thirteen to ten due to scheduling.[7] Filming for the series will begin in Australia in March 2013.[1] The series was created by Liz Heldens and Peter Elkoff, who also serve as executive producers alongside Gail Berman, Lloyd Braun and Gene Stein.
Casting [edit]
Casting announcements began in February 2013, with Tom Green first to be cast. Green is set to play the role of Kip Wampler, an adorable loner who likes indie rock and documentary films and hates people.[4] Rachel Griffiths, Tim Pocock and Dena Kaplan were next to come on board the series. Griffith was cast in the role of Mackenzie Greenfield, the camp’s director, who is reeling from being left by her husband for a younger woman; Pocock is set to play Robbie Eisenberg, the head of activities at the camp with lofty goals of attending law school, whilst Kaplan will portray Sarah, Robbie's summer romance.[3] Rodger Corser then joined the cast as Roger Shepherd, the director of a rival summer camp.[5] Nikolai Nikolaeff signed on to the series as the camp’s food-, sex- and weed-loving maintenance guy.[6]
